MURRAY AND WALLACE,

The prospect Of these two places as
given in private letter from Wardner
man to citizen Of this county. He says:
~ have with this mail written To-
as you suggested, and expressed my
hearty cooperation in a matter so i'm.
portant to both sections. If there could
be way devised to build such a road.
"a road direct from Lewiston over
route east of the one now travelled, and
much Of the way through the timber,
but of much less distance from Wardner
to Lewiston.) But this county through
its wonderful and jealous county COM
missioners of last year have placed debt
of si60, 900 against the taxpayers, and
under the present law we could not build
a bridge in the county for twenty years
to come. There is not, at this writing,
road in the county that can be used for
any kind of an animal and yet there are
five distinct roads built into Murray.
Over here there has not been expended
ono dollar, to improve the roads, by the
county. We have put in four bridges at
our own expense on the South Fork, and
changed the old Mullan road so it is
very passable to the end of the track, in
in spite of all the favoritism. Wallace
will be the county seat within three
years and now we are employing more
men under pay than they are at Murray
and around it. The mills are all closed
there with windows nailed up and not a
man is making his expenses in that
vicinity. \
Messrs. Hussey and Daplcr have located
a bank here, and are going to build q
fifty ton daily sampler, the machinery
for which is now at the Mission.
The railroad will reach this point early
in July. \
I have the satisfaction to inform you
that we have the assurance of the End
assistant postmaster general, that daily
mail will be established to this point as
soon as the contract is let, now advertised
for, to commence April ], next. 1t has
been long and expensive experience,
but the time has come when / can see
through the clouds and the sky is bright
with promise. This county, and more
especially this part Of it, has been cursed
with class Of Adventures in every
department of its history. Swindlers,
jumpers and cut threats, having been
driven from other camps came here, and
the fruit Of their coming is the election
to Office in all the county government,
of a class of men who have no interest
but their own to serve, and those who
have the welfare of the people at heart
are not, nor have they been consulted.
The disgrace of the last legislature Of
this territory is enough to last the
balance Of its existance and it will 90
down to future generations as monu.
ment Of folly. Respectfully.

Pennington. This road is to run south
Of Lake Occur dAlene, crossing the St.

Utah Northern. The survey was made
last Summer and the right of way
through the Indian reservation was grant

THE FIGHT FOR ANNEXATION

Delegate Voorhees,, Of Washington
Territory, who is a son of Senators
Voorhees,, of Indiana, tells the papers a,
the National Capital that he has not ye,
given up the fight for the annexation Of
Northern Idaho to Washington Territory
says the Silrer State. On the CONTRARY
he intends to renew it in the next con.
gress when, it Is hoped, the President
will be able 10 see the matter in differ.
ent light.
The failure to annex tie Idaho pan.
handle to Washington has seriously inter.
fered with Senator Stewards proposition
to annex Southern Idaho to Nevada
He is satisfied, however, that there is q
disposition among Congressman to pre-
vent the admission of Washington Ter.
ritory as state without Northern Idaho
and he believes that no small territory
will be admitted into the Union. With
the panhandle taken from Idaho Senate,
Stewart thinks there will not be enough
CT the territory to form q state, hence the
necessity Of annexing the Southern part
to Nevada.
AS Northern Idaho is unanimously in
favor of being annexed to Washington
Territory, and the people Of the Southern
part, with the exceptions OF the Boise
City ring, which to further their scheme,
a few years ago advocated the annexation
of the panhandle, are almost unanimous:
ly for annexation to Nevada, the measure
ought to be accomplished by the next
congress. There is no precedent for
disincorporating state, while the bound.
airy lines OF states have frequently been
changed, and as it will mutually benefit
Southern Idaho and Nevada to be united
Congress and the President ought to
place no obstacles in the way Of their
union.-Ners Miner.

The Value of a Crossing.

General Manager Belknap and Superin-
tendent Hege, of the Central Railroad, re-
turned yesterday morning from Griffin,
where they have been attending the arbi-
tration of damages to be assessed on ac-
count of the Georgia Midland crossing the
Central Railroad on a level.
The arbitrators were J. G. Rhea, L.
Cleveland, and NJ. j. Patrick After a
lengthy argument by the counsel for the
Georgia Midland, Major Bellxnap, for the
Central, said that his road wanted
no money consideration, but wanted
only such precautions taken to guard
against accidents as the public safety and
the property of both roads demanded, which
was that the Georgia Midland and Gulf road
should place signals at the point where that
road crossed the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama railroad and the Central,
such signals to be placed there whenever
needed, and to be maintained by the junior
road. To this the counsel for the Georgia
Midland objected, and after still further
arguing the case it WIS submitted to the
board for decision. After a short consulta-
ton the board decided that the Georgia
Midland and Gulf railroad should pay the
Central and Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama railroads $3.50 each, damages for
crossing the roads.

THE FoRps' SUCCESS.
They Make Big Hit in Dora" and ''Th'
Youth Who Never Saw Woman"

They Make a Big Hit in Dora" and "The
Youth Who Never Saw Woman"
The Fords made the hit of the season last
night in Dora The play is a pastoral
drama founded on Tennyson's poem, and
was written by Charles Reade. 1t is full of
strong situations, which were taken advan-
tage of most effectively. Farmer Allen"
and his son William are the two leading
characters Dora" is Farmer Aliens"
niece whom he wishes his son TO marry.
MARY" is poor family relative whom the
sturdy farmer has taken into his family.
Around these the story of the play is woven.
Mr.. Thomas McCabe and Mr.. Lawrence
Hanley as Farmer Allen" and his son di-
vided the honOrs. Both parts were admir-
ably sustained. Mr.. McCabe as the sturdy
old farmer and Mr. Hanley as his SON,
William whose secret marriage with
Mary in preference to Dora" the chosen
and favored niece, provokes the unreientleSs
fathers wrath, were given an ovation.
Mr.. Hanleys appearance was enthusiastic
cally applauded and Mr.. McCabe was sew
eral times recalled. Miss Clara Baker as
Dora made decided hit. She has already
become a favorite with Savannah audiences,
and her success is well merited, for she is a
true actress
Miss Mollie Maeder as ''Mary" had an ex-
cellent conception of the character, and she
played the part most successfully. Mr. Joe
+. Doyle as Luke Bloomfield" and Mr. H.
T. Estill as ''Jem Blount," acted well their
parts. Master Herbert as Little Willie"
was heartily applauded. The play through
out was admirably produced, and so far is
the greatest success of the season.
After the drama came the farce 1.-THE

1t is one of the most original as it is one of
the best farces that the Fords have
ever given. 1t was an uproarious sue
cess. The audience laughed and applauded
by turns, and when the curtain went down
it gave one loud cheer and stamped and APP
plauded until the curtain was rolled up
again. Miss White as Colin, Miss Maeder
as Eliza and Miss Farrer as Gertrude"
the governess, carried the audience
completely away. Mr.. Larry Doyle as
Philip and Mr.. William Fleming as

The cast both for the drama and the farce

GIVE Us A SHOW.
Yachtsmen Stirred Up Over the Set
down on Homemade Crafts.

QOWL I1OIQG-IQdQ6 OThlJS-
Yachting Editor Morning Ne,oS: As
general rule it is not considered ''just the
thing" to criticise the conduct of a club out
side of its organized meetings. But the Sa-
vannah Yacht Club has recently adopted
some rules that justly merit public criticism.
For instance, one rule is that any boat may
enter for the races, but that member of
the club must 60 on it or 1t Will not be
allowed to run. Now the builder and
owner appears with his boat at the proper
time, but because of the indifference
of the members of the yacht club, or their
fear OF tanning their compilations, or their
fondness for personal comfort, no member
will go ON the outsiders yacht; and as a
result the homemade Georgia pine yacht,
built right here at cost of perhaps one
fourth that of the Northern-built yacht and
often very much more substantial, is ruled
out of the race. Is this fair to our poor
fishermen, who display such talent in con-
structing new models! Is it not fear of
being beaten by the so-called batteaux!
In the recent Isle of Hope regattas two
boats built by the MesSrs Ferguson at Cedar
Hammock defeated all the finer crafts. Is
not this credit to the builders and to Cap
tains Brown and Ferguson, who sailed thelns
And now comes the adoption of rules which
practically exclude both boats. Gentlemen
of the Savannah Yacht Club, are you afraid
to meet the Rear Admirals feet from Cedar
Hammock and Shipyardi
Take the other rule. The Savannah Yacht
Club pretends that it wants to encourage
yachting. Messrs. Ludden e. Bates made
Capt. Brown, for the Vivian, present of
sail with their name and advertisement on
it, and in a recent race this boat distanced
competition and so ruffied the club that it
adopted a rule to exclude the sail. Ii
our Savannah and Chatham county
boys can for one-fourth the money
build boats that can run away
from the so-called fine yachts belonging to
the Savannah Yacht Club members, it is a
good thing 10 find out, both for the encour-
agement OF home talent and economy
If the Savannah Yacht Club wants to do
the fair thing let it adopt another rule,
that when an outsider takes all the trouble
to equip or build boat and bring it to the
race the Commodore shall order a member
aboard, OF the boat shall not be excluded
because of the laziness or love of ease Of the
members of the club itself. A MEMBER.

Electric Light Plant Owners to Resist
a Rise in Cartons.
The latest instance of consolidation is
combine of proprietors of electric lighting
companies, who propose hereafter to manu-
facture their own carbons, in both the large
and small sizes used according to the candle
power of the light. Heretofore these car
bons have been made exclusively by thir-
teen manufactures, seven in Cleveland. two
in St Louis, two in Pittsburg, one in Mas
sacmissets and one in Connecticut and these
manufacturers found a good market for
their wares, as some OF the electric
companies used from 500,0 to
100000 carbons per month. Re
Gently all these manufacturers entered
into an agreement to raise the price of car
bons from $40 and Sl2 per 900, according
TO size. to $40 and go per 1000. The Brush
Electric Light Company here uses from
5000 to 1900 carbons a month. For the
past two or three months it has been paying
$50 per 1000, where it formerly paid but
$40, the increase being 100 per cent. The
electric light companies all over the country
are combining to start a mandatory in
New York, where the cost of production
would be reduced to a minimum, and the
carbons would be manufactured at not to
exceed the old price. The 100 per cent adj
vance Is quite an item, even to small COM
panies like that in Savannah, footing up a
considerable advance on the cost of furnish

by His 17-Year-Old Uncle.
"Bnl" Williams, a negro boy about II
years of age, accidentally shot and killed
his 3-year-old nephew, Alex. Segur, Mon
day night in the kitchen of the house in
which they lived near Brownsville. Williams
bought a pistol about two weeks before
Christmas and went out shooting with it.
On returning home he drew out all the
shells of the exploded cartridges and placed
the pistol in a box in his grandmother's
room, where it has remained untouched, he
Thought, ever since.
Monday evening he took it from the box
and sat down in the kitchen to clean it. His
little nephew stood beside him watching
him work. Suddenly the pistol went off
and the boy put his hand TO his side and
began to cry. His mother rushed in from
the mex: room and asked Williams if he had
shot the baby. He replied that he
did not know, but he began stripping
the clothes off the little fellow
and found hole in his left side. DIR. Myers
was sent for and he attended the boy, but the
ball had touched fatal spot, and at 2
o'clock yesterday morning he died. Coro-
ner Dixon was notified yesterday morning
and he held an inquest at which the above
facts were learned. The jury rendered a
